(1959) Page(s) 199. Grafton Pillar produces large clusters of red, double flowers from June until late fall. It is the result of a second crossing of Skinner's Rambler and Gruss an Aachen. The flowers are fully double having thirty petals and they grow on the tips of canes from two to eight feet long which makes it a true pillar rose. This plant will take down to -20F, which makes it a reasonably hardy climber and capable of wintering in quite a large part of Canada excluding the Prairies. With a little protection it should grow in wide areas of our country. The originators say is is mildly susceptible to both Black Spot and Mildew. This is easily propagated from leafy cuttings in July.
(1959) Page(s) 225. GRANNIE'S ROSE. From Quebec is apparently a damask rose, the coral pink semi-double flowers are born in clusters over a fairly long period and they also are very fragrant. This grows into a two foot bush and though the tips of the twigs are sometimes winter killed the bush has never yet failed to put on a brave show.
